Here you go:

using System;
using System.IO; // needed for StreamReader & StreamWriter

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// create a StreamWriter to write to the file name.txt
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("name.txt");
// write your name to it
sw.WriteLine("Islam Elbaz");
// close it
sw.Close();

// create a StreamReader to read from the file name.txt
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("name.txt");
// read name from it
string name = sr.ReadLine();
// close it
sr.Close();
// print name to the console
Console.WriteLine("Your name is {0}", name);
// press any key to end program
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
